From the publisher:
"The bestselling, classic guide to insight meditation
is a book that people give to
everyone they know—a book that people talk about, write about, think
about, and return to repeatedly.

"With his distinctive clarity and wit, 'Bhante G' takes us step by
step through the myths, realities, and benefits of meditation and the
practice of mindfulness. We already have the foundation we need to live a
more productive and peaceful life—Bhante simply points to each tool of
meditation, tells us what it does, and how to make it work.

"This expanded edition includes the complete text of its
bestselling predecessor, as well as a new chapter on the cultivation of
lovingkindness, an especially important subject in today's fractious
world."
